Roll That 20!!!

[Alan Shutko]

In one encounter... I think it was with Irontooth, we had THREE CHARACTERS pop back up with natural 20s. Five characters, two down and stabilized. Two more went down, with just the wizard back up. Two of us pop back up, with the fighter suddenly going into overdrive and rolling like a god. Wizard goes down, warlock goes down again, wizard pops back up with a 20. Fighter goes down, wizard ends the encounter.

Unfortunately, the fighter and warlock both failed death saves after that and died. But what a way to go!

Seems like rolling like that is the only way to beat that encounter if you do it immediately after the previous one.

I DM a bimonthly game and play in a weekly game, and I still haven't seen this happen. Not due to a lack of PCs going down either (especially my own).

Seen it happen about 5 times and on 3 occasion it changed the result from tpk to party win. I think it is awesome when it happens.
